All black everything and the provocation of an inverted cross. I’ve fallen hard for Does Not Equal, a brand whose aesthetic so perfectly matches my own. I love the clean simplicity of this piece, and that the connotations it evokes are neither clean nor simple.
Wearing: Does Not Equal downward cross necklace (a gift from the designer), top by Imprint, jacket by Just Jeans, Chanel lipstick in Maniac.

During my recent trip to San Francisco, I was lucky enough to hook up with the extremely talented Lydia Hudgens. Lydia kindly agreed to show me around the Mission and take a few snaps while we were at it. The Mission is all artisan ice-cream shops and hipsters; cheap Mexican food and independent boutiques – and easily one of my favourite areas in the city.
These photos were taken near Dolores Park, outside a building boasting an ornate metal gate. I love the way Lydia has captured the late afternoon light – there is a certain serenity to these photos that I adore.
I’m wearing: sunglasses by NastyGal, top by Imprint, leather jacket by Target, sass & bide Rats leggings, scarf from Glebe Market, Doc Marten Darcie boots.
An ankle-grazing cardigan should be de rigueur in every wardrobe, especially a cardigan with tiny, perfect details – holes to put your thumbs through; an oversized hood; deep pockets for hiding occult necessities.
Jacket by Just Jeans, cardigan by oneteaspoon, silk top by The Doll’s Boutique, sass & bide Rats, Sam Edelman Zoe boots.
It may not satisfy my sense of aesthetics as completely as wearing RGBSTEEL on my nails, but Rimmel London’s Grey Matter is pretty impressive. I think I’ll be wearing this shade a lot, especially come spring.
Rings (L – R): a gift; from the Chinatown Night Market in Sydney; by Wendy Nichol; from the Paddington Markets.
